Defining an Author
Defining an (my) author profile
|
There is a permission to allow members to define author profiles that are bound to their member profile. If the 'define an author' page was not entered from a link to define/edit a referenced author, it will default to defining/editing the author of the username of the current user: it is through this that a member defines their author profile. To define a profile for another author, it is first necessary to add some author supporting content, and then to choose to define the author from the Admin Zone author management page.
View a Author
Viewing an author profile
|
Links are placed on author-supporting content view pages to view details of the content author, as well as in the OCF member profile of a member with a bound author profile. The 'view an author' page will display the author profile, as well as downloads that they have been recorded as having authored.
Merging authors
Managing/Merging authors
|
The Admin Zone provides an interface for merging authors. This feature is provided as it is likely that different users will refer to authors with slightly different names.
Concepts
- Author
- Someone who specifically authors content, as opposed to someone who may merely have submitted it
